Installing a Disabled Access Bathroom in Your Home

31st March 2017

The years go by quickly and as we become older health issues become more important and can impact our quality of life. Having access to a downstairs bathroom can make a significant improvement in everyday mobility for the elderly or people with a disability, providing easy access to essential bathroom facilities. Here at DNG Construction we provide a quick and helpful service to get your disabled bathroom renovation project started ASAP.

Sometimes bathrooms need to be renovated or refitted for specific purposes such as providing facilities for a family member with a physical disability or providing access for an elderly relative. We can make life easier by ensuring that any disabled bathroom that we design and install complies with all the relevant building regulations, while fitting your needs and requirements.

Accessible Toilet Designed to Accommodate People With Physical Disabilities

At a certain point in life, bathing and hygiene can go from a pleasant routine to a painful, embarrassing hassle. It's hard enough to accept assistance in most areas of life, but in the bathroom it is especially difficult. Many elderly and disabled individuals end up avoiding the bathroom at all costs. An accessible toilet is a special toilet designed to accommodate people with physical disabilities, and once installed, an accessible bathroom can restore pride and allow an individual to live their life in a far more normal manner. DNG Construction has installed many solutions, resulting in the owners quality of life improving dramatically.


To help those with a disability there is a Disabled Persons Grant (DPG) available. The DPG covers a number of areas and included in this are downstairs toilets and accessible bathrooms. If you have a disability and you are looking to renovate your exisiting bathroom to make it more accessible for you then you may be eligible for a grant for your bathroom work. You can look up more information on the grant scheme on the citizen information website.
